Three Village Democratic Club January Meeting

Please join the Three Village Democratic Club as we welcome David Calone for an engaging discussion of “Suffolk County's Future."

Since 2008, David has served as Planning Commission Chairman and led the focus on land use policies with regional impact including infrastructure financing, efficiency and distributed generation, water protection, and housing diversity and public safety. Under his leadership, he has helped initiate Suffolk County’s first Comprehensive Plan effort in nearly 40 years. He also spearheaded the LI Unified Solar Permitting Initiative which has since been adopted as the model for renewable energy permit streamlining across New York State and for which Suffolk County was awarded a National Association of Counties’ 2012 National Achievement Award. Most recently, he developed an agriculture equipment financing program for new farmers that has been endorsed and funded by NY State; and he created one of the first geothermal energy permitting codes in the country.
